Honor those you love with an heirloom to last for years to come
Custom art for the people, pets, and moments you can’t imagine life without.
Hand-drawn & painted keepsakes made with care to celebrate one story at a time.
Commissions are available year-round. Please allow 2-3 weeks for your piece to be given the care & time it deserves.
The Larkspur & Lore Custom Work Suite
Painted Margins: your invitation, beautifully framed.
I take your milestone invitation and hand-paint the details from that event, like your wedding florals, around it on a watercolor paper matte, so it becomes a keepsake you can treasure forever.
Notes about sizing: My standard size is an A7 or 5×7 invitation card with approximately a 2-inch border around. Other sizes are available upon request, as I custom-cut each matte for the project.
How It Works
Say Hello
Book a spot & send me the details.
We plan
I’ll confirm all the details, send you preliminary sketches, and make sure the vision aligns.
Custom work includes 2 revisions before final painting begins.
I Create
After the final approval, I’ll create a piece that’s just for you in about 2-3 weeks.
Please be patient. Work needs time to come together.
This is how the magic happens.
It Arrives
Once complete, I carefully prepare it and ship it to your doorstep.
This is like the ultimate unboxing moment.
What To Send Me
Because each piece is crafted with your story in mind, you may need to send me extra details by email/form or by mail.
-
Reference photos, details about the person, pet, or bouquet, specific color palettes, or any other details you consider critical to developing your piece.
Most of these are sent via a form
-
A copy of your invitation to be fitted to the painting's matte. If you don’t feel comfortable mailing a copy, for example, if it’s the only one, you may also send me a scan and exact measurements.
Each matte is custom cut, so I cannot guarantee a perfect fit if I don’t have the actual invitation.

Yes! In fact I love to switch it up and work on different subjects. I’ve done many venue illustrations for weddings and even more pet photos,
